As humans, we've built connections and bonds with certain genres （类型） or musical styles as a way to express ourselves.Music is a powerful tool to convey information about ourselves.A recent study is offering new insight into how our favourite tunes are linked to our personalities.
The study spanning six continents with more than 350,000 participants showed that personality types are linked with certain musical preferences.During the study, people from more than 50 countries self-reported their enjoyment of 23 different music genres while also completing a personality questionnaire.The researchers also had the participants listen to brief clips of music from 16 different genres of Western music and rank them.
Songs like Ed Sheeran's Shivers appeal to extroverts （性格外向者）, while adorable people would be happy to listen to What's Going On by Marvin Gaye.Meanwhile, open people tend to enjoy Nina
Simone's songs or David Bowie's classic Space Oddity. And all of these types of songs have appeal that crosses national borders, according to the study.
“We were surprised at just how much these patterns between music and personality were alike across the globe,” said study author David Greenberg, honorary research associate at the University of Cambridge, in a statement.
“People may be divided by geography, language and culture, but if an extrovert in one part of the world likes the same music as extroverts elsewhere,” said Greenberg, “that suggests that music could be a very powerful bridge.Music helps people to understand one another and find common ground.”
The researchers acknowledge that musical taste isn't set in stone and can change. But the study provides a foundation for understanding how music can cross other social divisions and bring people together.

7.______________ （expose） to a foreign culture is beneficial for us to comprehend the local language.
Being exposed
解析 句意为：接触外国文化对于我们理解当地的语言是有好处的。短语expose sb to sth意为“使某人接触某物”，此处作主语，表示一般性的动作，时间概念不强，expose与其逻辑主语“我们”之间为被动关系，应用动名词的被动形式，句首单词首字母要大写。故填Being exposed。
8.I am sure your suggestion will contribute to ________ （solve） the problem.
solving
解析 句意为：我相信你的建议将有助于解决这个问题。contribute to意为“促成；有助于”，其中to是介词，后接动名词形式作宾语。故填solving。
9.No one can escape ________________________ （punish） if he breaks the law.
being punished/punishment
解析 句意为：没有人可以违反法律而逃脱惩罚。escape （doing） sth为固定搭配，表示“逃脱（做）某事”，根据语境可知，违法的人应被惩罚，所以用动名词的被动形式或punish的名词形式punishment。故填being punished/punishment。

coming
解析 句意为：鲍勃过来帮忙有助于我们按时完成任务。本句的谓语动词为contributed,此处为动名词的复合结构作主语。故填coming。

【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了联合国教科文组织将4月30日定为国际爵士乐日，目的是让人们意识到爵士乐的意义与价值、改善爵士乐不受年轻人的欢迎的处境、探索爵士乐的未来。一位叫贾森·莫兰的艺术顾问也在作出一些努力来改变爵士乐的现状。
1.________
to raise
解析 句意为：联合国教科文组织将4月30日定为国际爵士乐日，以提高人们对爵士乐及其在不同文化中的重要作用的认识。此处是非谓语动词短语作目的状语，设空处应用动词不定式。故填to raise。
2.________
cultures
解析 句意见上一题解析。culture表示不同（国家的）文化或多种文化时是可数的，故用复数形式cultures。
3._________
Actually
解析 句意为：事实上在美国，爵士乐的听众在不断减少，并且年龄在老化，爵士乐已经与年轻人脱离了联系。设空处位于句首，修饰整个句子，应用副词。故填Actually。
4.________
adviser
解析 句意为：作为肯尼迪表演艺术中心的爵士乐艺术顾问，莫兰希望帮助更多的人欣赏爵士乐，并保护其历史和文化。artistic为形容词，根据句意可知设空处应用表示职业的名词。故填adviser。
【易错警示】本题容易误填advice,错在不注意对句意的理解，只看语法，考虑应用名词，所以会误填。做语法填空题时对语境的理解是很关键的。
5.___
In
解析 in one's opinion 为固定搭配，意为“以某人的观点；在某人看来”。故填In。
6.____________
be presented
解析 句意为：在他看来，今天的爵士乐不能以1908年或1958年那样的方式被呈现出来。设空处是主句的谓语动词，present与主句的主语the music之间是被动关系，又因为前有can't,故填be presented。
7.____
the
解析 句意为：它必须要继续发展，因为世界的运作方式与以前不同了。be the same为固定搭配，意为“一样”。故填the。
8._________
arranged
解析 设空处是主句的谓语动词，arrange与主句的主语Moran之间是主动关系，由Last year可知，本句为一般过去时。故填arranged。
9.______
What
解析 _______he wants 是主语从句，从句中缺少宾语，表示“他想要的是……”，故填What。
10._________
ourselves
解析 句意为：他想要的是人们了解我们人类是如何通过音乐来谈论自己的，以及音乐是如何让我们进入一个关于我们的情感和思想的对话中的。宾语从句主语we humans 与该从句的宾语所指相同，宾语用反身代词。故填ourselves。

Music is said to be a universal language. But for Chase Burton, a deaf filmmaker, music has always been a different experience.
“When I was a kid, I'd lie on the floor above our garage so that I could feel the vibrations （震动） from my brother's band rocking out below my body.That was one of the first times I had begun building a relationship with music,” said Burton.
In 2016, his ability to experience music changed completely, thanks to the California-based technology company Not Impossible Labs.It designed a vibrating suit that enables deaf people to “feel” music through their skin.The suit can translate audio into a range of vibrating pulses （脉冲） that are felt at 24 contact points.Burton has been trying out the suit for four years.“The sound drubs different parts of my body,” said Burton.“Maybe it will strike me in my ankles first.And then I'll start to feel the vibrations in my back and wrists.”
The creators want to extend the tactile （触觉的） musical experience beyond the deaf community.In 2018, they gave out 150 vibrating suits at a rock concert where half the audience members were deaf and half could hear.Since then, the creators have been working to improve the technology according to the feedback and want the suit to become a consumer product accessible to all, which will be used in live sports broadcasts, or video games.
As a writer and director, Burton has been working to make the movie world more inclusive.For his latest movie he hired an all-deaf crew and actors.Burton hopes that the vibrating suit will be available to his film audiences in the future.He believes that the suit can improve emotions while people are watching a movie for normal people as well as the deaf.“I see the tech as a real opportunity to help people understand that music or movies don't always need to be enjoyed through the ears,” said Burton.
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。加利福尼亚州的科技公司Not Impossible Labs研发了一款利用震动脉冲能使听力障碍者通过皮肤感受音乐的震动服。文章介绍了这种服装的工作原理、研发过程以及未来前景。
1.What does the underlined word “drubs” in Paragraph 3 probably mean ( )
A
A.Hits. B.Affects. C.Changes. D.Reflects.
解析 词义猜测题。根据第三段中的The suit can translate audio into a range of vibrating pulses that are felt at 24 contact points.和下文中的“Maybe it will strike me in my ankles first.And then I'll start to feel the vibrations in my back and wrists.”可知，人体皮肤的24个接触点接收到音乐转变成的震动脉冲，故随着音乐的变化，声音“打击”24个不同的接触点。由此推测出画线词与下文中的strike同义，即与A项同义。故选A项。
2.Why were normal people provided with the vibrating suit by the creators ( )
D
A.To attract more users. B.To promote the sale.
C.To make people enjoy music. D.To perfect the suit for all users.
解析 推理判断题。根据第四段内容可知，发明者希望这套震动服不仅仅能给听力障碍者使用,发明者给听力正常的人发放震动服，之后根据反馈意见改进技术，扩大震动服的使用范围，使其对所有用户都有所帮助。因此发明者给听力正常的人提供震动服是为了完善它以使所有人都能使用。故选D项。
3.What does Burton expect of the vibrating suit in the future ( )
A
A.It will be used by his film audiences. B.It will help improve the actors' emotions.
C.It will become the main theme in his movies. D.It will change the normal's attitude to the deaf.
解析 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的Burton hopes that the vibrating suit will be available to his film audiences in the future.可知，伯顿期待在未来，这种用皮肤感受音乐的震动服能为他的电影观众观影时所用。故选A项。
4.What is the best title for the text ( )
D
A.A Deaf Filmmaker's Musical Experiences B.The Application of Vibrating Suit to Films
C.Wearable Devices for Deaf People Are Coming D.Vibrating Suit Allows Deaf People to Feel Music
解析 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了一家名叫Not Impossible Labs的公司研发了一种震动服，使听力障碍者也能感受到音乐。文章介绍了这种服装的工作原理、技术研发过程以及未来的前景。D项 （震动服让听力障碍者感受音乐）最适合作为本文的最佳标题。故选D项。

There was a man playing the piano in a bar.He was a good piano player and always performed in this bar.People came in just to hear him play.But one night, a customer told him that he didn't want to hear him just play the piano any more.He wanted him to sing a song.
The man said, “I don't sing.”
But the customer was persistent （执意的）.He told the bar manager, “I'm tired of listening to the piano.I want that man to sing!”
The manager shouted across the room, “If you want to get paid, sing a song.Our customer is asking you to sing!”
So he did.He sang a song.A piano player who had never sung in public did so for the first time.And everyone was surprised by his song Mona Lisa.He got lots of applause （掌声） that night.
He had such a talent for singing, but he just had been sitting on his talent for the past years! If without such a chance, he may have lived the rest of his life as a no-name piano player in a no-name bar.However, now he has become one of the best-known singers in America.
You, too, have skills and talents.Maybe your “talent” is not as great as the singer above, but it may be better than you think! And with effort, your talents can be discovered, and most skills can be improved.So, in your life, you should be brave enough to try doing different things and find out what talents you really have!

2.What do you think of the bar manager ( )

Beethoven is undoubtedly one of the greatest musicians.He completed 722 musical works. Unfortunately, the master died while still working on his 10th Symphony （交响曲）. Now, a team of musicians and scientists have used artificial intelligence （AI） to complete the artist's final composition.
Dr Matthias first came up with the idea of completing the composition in 2019.He thought it was an appropriate way to celebrate Beethoven's 250th birthday in December 2020.He began by enlisting an international team of music experts to help him with the giant task.They included the music composer Walter Werzowa and Dr Ahmed Elgammal, the creator of an innovative AI technology for the art market.
Ahmed and his colleagues started the process by familiarising the AI software initially with a broad range of classical music, and then, narrowed it down to just Beethoven's works.Meanwhile, Walter and
his group tried to interpret the rough drafts and the handful of notes that detailed Beethoven's plans for the 10th Symphony.
The team then began the slow and careful task of feeding the AI software musical notes from the unfinished composition.To stay true to Beethoven's original composition, Ahmed's team sent Walter hundreds of AI-generated musical note variations every evening.Walter would listen to them and then select the one that he thought was the closest to what the artist would have written.The AI team would add the music and rerun the software to generate the next suggestions.And piece by piece, the team was able to complete Beethoven's 10th Symphony!
The composition was firstly released on October 9, 2021.Not surprisingly, it caused some controversy （争议）.Critics believe technology should not be used to replicate the human creative process.Ahmed and his team agree with their opinions and say their AI software is not out to replace humans—it is just a tool to help artists to express themselves in new ways.

D
A.To voice his greatest respect for Beethoven.
B.To compare traditional music and AI music.
C.To present the team of music experts' hard work.
D.To introduce an innovative method of creating music.
解析 推理判断题。根据第一段内容和第二段中的Dr Matthias first came up with the idea of completing the composition in 2019.可知，第一段的主要目的是介绍一种创新的音乐创作方法，引出下文介绍的科研团队使用这一创作方法完成贝多芬《第十交响曲》的事例。
2.Which can be used to best describe the team's work ( )
C
A.Inspiring. B.Steady. C.Challenging. D.Boring.
解析 推理判断题。根据文章第三段Ahmed and his colleagues started the process… that detailed Beethoven's plans for the 10th Symphony.和文章第四段内容可知，艾哈迈德和他的同事从最开始使人工智能软件对贝多芬的作品有记忆，到最后成功创作出贝多芬的《第十交响曲》，这期间经历了许多过程。由此可知，这个团队的工作是充满挑战性的。
3.What does the underlined word “replicate” in the last paragraph mean ( )
B
A.Question. B.Copy. C.Direct. D.Speed.
解析 词义猜测题。根据上文介绍的人工智能创作音乐的方法可知，人工智能需要先学习大量的曲谱，然后进行模仿创作；结合下文中的Ahmed and his team agree with their opinions and say their AI software is not out to replace humans—it is just a tool to help artists to express themselves in new ways.可知，此处表示使用人工智能创作音乐这种方式实则是在模仿人类的创造过程，批评者认为，该技术不应该被用来复制人类的创造过程，结合选项可推测replicate与copy意义相近，表示“复制”。
4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text ( )
B
A.Beethoven's 10th Symphony Was Eventually Staged
B.AI Helped Complete Beethoven's Unfinished Symphony
C.A Team of Experts Conducted an Impossible Mission

Like many of the arts, music flourished during the Zhou Dynasty.From this period we have instruments, models of performers, descriptions of musicians and dancers, and the Shijing, or The Book of Poetry, which contains poems and songs of the court and common people during the Zhou Dynasty.It is likely that music played an extremely important role in the Zhou Dynasty for all social classes.
One of the most important sources of information the researchers have regarding Zhou-Dynasty music is from the tomb of the Marquis Yi of Zeng （about 433 BCE）.This tomb was uncovered in 1978 in Hubei Province and contained the most extensive and well-preserved set of musical instruments ever found in an ancient Chinese tomb.This four-chamber （四室的） tomb was designed in imitation of a palace with a central courtyard, reflecting the belief that the Marquis Yi would require the same comforts in the afterlife that he had enjoyed during his lifetime.The central chamber of the tomb, which
reflected a palace courtyard, contained most of the musical instruments found, including a complete set of sixty-five graduated bells fixed on wooden shelves.In addition, twenty-one young women were buried with the Marquis Yi, some of whom were likely his favourite musicians and dancers.
The Marquis Yi's set of sixty-five bells is remarkable for a variety of reasons. First, they are clearly dated—an inscription （碑文） indicates that the bells were a gift given to him in 433 BCE.Second, the bells were very expensive to produce and to purchase, particularly a set of this size, so they are further evidence of the Marquis Yi's status.Finally, the bells, along with the other instruments in the room, illustrate what an instrumental band might have consisted of during this period.Scholars predict that it would have required twenty-four musicians to play all instruments at once.
There are still many gaps in our knowledge of ancient Chinese music, partly because there was no system for recording music in written form.

1.( )A.pass B.exist C.strike D.help
C
解析 根据最后一段第二句 You just have to be ready to catch inspiration when it hits you.可知，此处表达“你永远不知道它什么时候可能会来”。strike意为“突然出现（在脑子里）”，符合语境，且when it might strike you与when it hits you相呼应。故strike正确。
2.( )A.attractive B.unexpected C.familiar D.dangerous

Imagine driving down a 10-lane highway and knowing that, high above your head, a mountain lion is quietly going along its way.This remarkable image could soon be the reality for drivers on one of California's busiest roads, as the world's largest wildlife overpass （跨线桥） begins construction in April.
The history-making project will comprise a green bridge built across the 101 highway near Los Angeles, creating a passage between two parts of the Santa Monica Mountains.The overpass will allow safe passage for lizards, snakes, mountain lions, etc with an acre of local plants on either side and vegetated sound walls to dampen light and noise for night-time animals as they go across.
The project, nearly a decade in the making, comes at a crucial time.Beth Pratt, a conservation leader with the National Wildlife Federation, feels as if she is running the last mile of a marathon.Pratt has spent most of the last decade planning the project, persuading transportation officials of its importance, and bringing donors to fund it.
The project is breaking records in many ways: Not only is it the largest crossing in the world, but it's also an engineering wonder.Robert Rock, a landscape architect who led the design, says this nature-centred type of construction makes it unusual among other wildlife bridges and underpasses around the world, which are typically made of cement （水泥） and steel.This one is designed to integrate into the environment on both sides—and send a message to the people driving below.
About 300,000 cars pass through this area each day, and Pratt calls it an opportunity for millions of Angelenos to see how humans can live more harmoniously with nature.“Someone could be in rush-hour traffic, and there could be a mountain lion right above them,” she says.“I think that's such a helpful image, and one that inspires me that we can right some of these great wrongs.”
